HockeyFan Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Can someone show me how to write a script that displays a message with a two minute count down??? This is what I have so far...and it doesn't work: $message = "" SplashTextOn("Important Message!", "" & @CR & "" & @CR & "blah, blah, blah." & @CR & "" & @CR & "This message will close in " & $message & "minutes.", 700, 450, -1, -1, 0, "", 14, 400) For $x = 0 to 120 $message = $message & $x ControlSetText("Important Message!", "" & @CR & "" & @CR & "blah, blah, blah." & @CR & "" & @CR & "This message will close in " & $message & "minutes.", "Static1", $message) sleep(1000) Next I just want to display a text message and have it count down from 2 minutes and then the window closes.
DaLiMan Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Changed the minutes to secs for testing but I think you'll get the idea.... $MyTime = "5" $message = "" & @CR & "" & @CR & "blah, blah, blah." & @CR & "" & @CR & "This message will close in " & $MyTime & " seconds." $a = SplashTextOn("Important Message!", $message, 700, 450, -1, -1, 0, "", 14, 400) For $x = 0 to 4 sleep(1000) $MyTime = $MyTime - 1 $message = "" & @CR & "" & @CR & "blah, blah, blah." & @CR & "" & @CR & "This message will close in " & $MyTime & " seconds." ControlSetText("Important Message!", "", "Static1", $message) Next Exit
